Compressidentalium [Compressidentalium]

Description

Compressidentalium represents a group of tusk shells distinguished by their compressed, elongate shells that taper to a point at one end. These shells are often ornamented with distinct ridges or grooves that run the length of the shell. Species of Compressidentalium are found in various marine environments, where they burrow into soft substrates to live a semi-infaunal lifestyle, feeding on microorganisms and detritus filtered from the water column.
